Hyuga Suigetsu is a person carefully selected by Yumi Hinata.
An 18-year-old Special Jonin, with outstanding strength and talent, the more capable a person is, the more unwilling they are to be controlled by others.
Both parents are dead, he has no brothers or sisters, and he is still young and hasn't married and had children. Whether it is Yasuji or Konoha, people without a family will have fewer fetters, and it is easier to give up some things.
Although Yumi Hinata just wants to find him to do some experiments, she doesn't want to be anti- Konoha, but she is a member of the anti-social organization. If he doesn't make up his mind to become a traitor, then there is no way to cooperate with her.
Moreover, Hyuga Suigetsu participated in the World War III tail, and then he has been in the front line of the Ninja army. His position has always been the main combat force, not the reconnaissance support personnel, which means that his physical strength is higher and he can endure more pain.
The study of the Caged Bird is carried out in the brain, and if he is not strong enough, he will really die.
Tahara City is north of Konoha, not far away, but because of the terrain, civilians have to take a detour from the west to go to Konoha, and ninjas can go in a straight line much faster.
The next morning, Hyuga Yumi sat in the most famous kiosk in Tahara Castle. This was the agreed location of the designated escort mission she had entrusted. From here, she could control the entire northwest part of the city.
As soon as Hyuga Suigetsu and his two friends appeared in her perception range, Yumi Hinata was relieved. That's good, the 150,000 taels were not spent in vain. She asked Lantern Full Moon, who was sitting next to her drinking tea, "Are you going back to the hotel to wait for me, or together?"
Maybe he is curious, or maybe he is really responsible for monitoring as Yumi Hinata guessed, Lantern Full Moon said with a cold face that he would like to watch.
Well, whatever, Hyuga Yuumi didn't care about this. If the success of the experiment to unlock the "Caged Bird" was in sight, then she would definitely do everything possible to deceive the public. But now, it's not even set in stone yet. Let's just wait and see, and report her repeated failures to Payne as a cover.
The two companions that Hyuga Suigetsu brought along were far weaker than him. As soon as they entered the room, they triggered the illusion trap that was set in advance and fainted on the spot. Although Hyuga Suigetsu managed to avoid the trap, he was pressed to the ground three seconds later.
Yumi Hinata twisted his arms and pressed them against his back. Her right knee pressed against the back of his neck. She could break his cervical vertebra with just a little bit of force. "Long time no see, Suigetsu." She greeted him in a rather friendly manner and even gave him pointers like how she used to do when she was the head of a branch family. "Your Revolving Sky Strike is too slow. You'll be killed eight to ten times before you can form a defense. Next time, don't think about fighting first when you encounter such a situation. If you hesitate, you won't have the chance to defend yourself."
Hyuga Suigetsu's face was half pressed against the ground. Because of the pressure on the back of his neck, he couldn't even turn his head. But even if he couldn't see the person, he could recognize who it was by the voice. "Yasuji … Yumi!"
Yumi Hinata smiled. "Be polite. You should call me Yumi -sama."
Hyuga Suigetsu was furious. "You don't deserve this title from the day you became a rebellious ninja!"
Yumi Hinata raised her eyebrows in surprise. "How strange. I don't usually see you being so loyal to Hinata -sama."
"It has nothing to do with the family! But you betrayed the village! "
"What are you saying …" Yumi Hinata pretended to sigh. "Since I was five years old, I swore that I would definitely kill Tsunsuki-sama who engraved the 'Caged Bird' on me. Later, I had no choice but to add Tsunsuki-sama to my list. Don't tell me that you've never thought of killing them?"
Hyuga Suigetsu fell silent.
"But the village definitely won't agree, no matter how strong I am, right?" Yumi Hinata let go of him and stood up. "So I can only do it myself. But the village will definitely judge me for this. I might even be sentenced to ten or twenty years."
Yumi Hinata looked at Hyuga Suigetsu, who was rubbing his arms as he stood up. "I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I accept punishment from others? Is it wrong for a person not to want to be a slave? Is it wrong for a slave to want to regain his freedom? Since I can't find another way, I can only find a way by myself. The village, or the Hokage, or the advisors, they can't give us the most basic freedom like other ninjas, but they also restrict us with the same rules that all ninjas have and require us to abide by them. In this way, there are only obligations and no rights. I'm also in a difficult position. "
Hyuga Suigetsu checked his two teammates' breathing and pulse Chakra. After confirming that they were only trapped in the Genjutsu and weren't in danger, he turned to her. "So you've been planning to defect for more than ten years?"
Yumi Hinata corrected him. "No, it's about killing the two family heads. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be a defector."
Hyuga Suigetsu revealed a complicated expression. "Then you're really …" Very good at acting.
What was Yumi Hinata's image in the past?
When she retired from the ninja ranks, Hyuga Suigetsu was only thirteen years old. He hadn't been a Chunin for long, and he hadn't been able to catch up with her on the battlefield. The rumors he heard were that she took her time on missions, didn't follow the rules, and often caused some inexplicable trouble. Her teammates Metke and I Don't Know The Secret weren't so bad. When the others heard that they wanted to cooperate with her team, they all had a "spare me" expression. Although she had never let her teammates die or get hurt because of her, it was inevitable that there would be all kinds of disputes. Later, she even stopped going on missions because of this.
In short, words like "ruthless" and "killing people like flies" had nothing to do with her.
Within the Hyuga family, Yumi Hinata was one of the few who showed respect for the main family. Of course, no matter what they thought, the branch family always had to maintain respect and obedience to the main family. However, Yumi Hinata was different.
She was strong, extremely strong.
She was so strong that she didn't seem like a branch family member. She was so strong that the other members of the branch family had extra expectations of her.
After she became the head of the branch family, one of her important duties was to give pointers to the backbone of the Hyuga family during a monthly battle. No matter whether the opponent was a Chunin or a Jounin, or how old or young they were, she always seemed to be at ease. It was as if the strength of these opponents made no difference to her.
This was an important method for the head of the branch family to win over people's hearts. However, Hyuga Yumeili didn't seem to care. She always tried her best to limit the number of people who could stand in front of her. Hyuga Suigetsu was promoted to Tokubetsu Jounin two years ago, and he only received this quota because of this one battle. He truly understood how strong she was.
This was why he was able to understand the way the Radical Faction looked at her.
It was as if they were saying, "Look, what a strong dog she is," and "In the Hyuga family, no matter how strong you are, you can only be a dog."
Yumi Hinata's existence made Yasuji even more desperate.
She showed everyone that there was no point in working hard to become stronger.
Until that day, when the main family's early morning scream shattered everyone's impression of her. It also broke the "Caged Bird" that had bound the branch family for hundreds of years.
Hyuga Suigetsu touched his forehead. It was a forehead protector with the Konoha symbol. Although it was still ugly, the "Caged Bird" was no longer binding him.
"Anyway," Hyuga Suigetsu said, "I have to thank you. But why did you ask me to come here? Do you hate Konoha? "
Yumi Hinata burst into laughter. "If I want to harm Konoha, what can you do to help? Suigetsu, although you have great potential, you're still not good enough for now."
That was true. Two months ago, she had beaten him up on the training ground. She had been defeated within three seconds of entering the room. Although it was because she was caught off guard, it also proved that she had gone easy on the Nangagawa during their previous sparring sessions.
Hyuga Suigetsu was unmoved. "What's your purpose?"
"It's the" Caged Bird "." Hyuga Yumi said, "The reason why I killed all the elders was because I was afraid that they would also know the method to activate the 'Caged Bird'. However, I didn't expect the Main Clan to be so useless that the method had already been leaked.
"What?!" Hyuga Suigetsu was so shocked that his eyes widened. He subconsciously looked at Lantern Full Moon, who had been sitting quietly at the table.
Yumi Hinata waved her hand. "It has nothing to do with him. It's someone else."
She said half-truthfully, "Not long ago, someone suddenly asked me to assassinate someone for him. Of course, I refused. Then, the" Caged Bird "was activated. Fortunately, I was cautious. He triggered other traps and gave me a chance to escape. Otherwise, I would have fallen into his hands."
"He's a bodyguard that I hired." Yumi Hinata said. Lantern Full Moon's acting was not good enough. Ordinary people could not see his cold aura, but in the eyes of ninjas, it was as obvious as a bright light in the dark. It was meaningless for him to pretend to be a commoner. "If that person appears again, he'll be responsible for taking me away when I can't resist."
"But this is a temporary solution. And to be honest, the next time that person appears, it's more likely that he'll kill me directly. I won't have a chance to escape." Yumi Hinata smiled. "Suigetsu, I need your help. I want to try to unlock the" Caged Bird ". If you agree, I'll try various methods on you and do a lot of research, including activating the" Caged Bird "."
Hyuga Suigetsu's shoulders immediately tensed up. Then, he realized that he slowly relaxed. There was no point in being on guard. When Yumi Hinata left, she burned all the information about the "Caged Bird," but she must have read it.
In other words … Hyuga Suigetsu suddenly realized that other than the person she mentioned, Yumi Hinata was the only one who controlled the "Caged Bird" and the lives of everyone in the branch family. As long as she was willing, she could immediately become the new head of the main family!
But she didn't. She didn't even threaten anyone with this.
Even though he repeatedly told himself that the person in front of him was a traitor and that he should be vigilant, at this moment, Hyuga Suigetsu couldn't help but believe her.
"But, why choose me?"
He was not the strongest, most talented, youngest, or oldest member of the Hyuga family. He wasn't even the one who was most disgusted by the "Caged Bird," and he wasn't familiar with Yumi Hinata. No, she didn't seem to be familiar with anyone. She usually lived in seclusion, and she rarely went out unless it was an occasion where the head of the branch family had to attend.
"Hmm … because you're more dangerous."
Hyuga Suigetsu showed a puzzled expression.
"When that person left, she once said that strength makes people more unfortunate. Although I don't agree with this statement, it's obvious that a weak Yasuji has no value. People like me will be targeted as soon as I leave the village. " Yumi Hinata said in an old-fashioned manner, "Suigetsu, you're one of the most talented people in the younger generation, but you're also the most hardworking. In the future, you'll definitely become a stronger ninja than you are now. In other words, you're valuable to that person."
"The research I want to do is very dangerous. After all, it's carried out in your brain. You may die, and it will be very painful, but you may also be able to truly break free from this shackle. You can choose for yourself. Do you want to take the risk with me, or suppress your strength from now on, or hide in Konoha and live in fear all day long to avoid any threats that may appear one day?"
Hyuga Suigetsu pondered for a moment. "Actually, I don't have a choice, right? Even if I don't agree, as long as you activate the 'Caged Bird,' I'll have no choice but to listen to you. "
Yumi Hinata raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Of course not. I hate it so much that I won't use it to threaten anyone. Suigetsu, I said that you can choose for yourself. If you don't want to take the risk, no problem. You can take your teammates and leave now. I can find others. I believe that there will be people who will be willing to cooperate with me. "
How tempting was it to unlock the 'Caged Bird'? It was very tempting, beyond imagination. People who hadn't lived under its shadow for more than ten years wouldn't be able to understand this feeling.
But was it so tempting that he was willing to risk his life, endure all the pain, and even abandon the home he had lived in for nearly twenty years?
If he was willing to continue living with this Engraving, it was very likely that he would never meet the person who activated the 'Caged Bird' until his death. He would never have to experience that kind of pain again.
Hyuga Sui experienced this kind of pain when she was ten years old. In addition to the physical pain, there was also the sense of despair and shame of having no power to fight back and the pain of begging for mercy.
Yumi Hinata looked at him from the window. Her eyes were indifferent and her expression was cold. For a moment, she looked like Hinata Hinata under the sunset.
